#174 - Villager communication platform

"To fight the Orcs, we have the advantage of terrain. If our army can get there in time before them, defending from a strategic location would be the best strategy."

"Using tall city walls and ranged weapons to wear down the Orc army, and at crucial moments, we can also rush out to engage them in battle formations. This is indeed the best option for us."

"In that case, I think we must always keep Riverrun in our hands. If the Orcs were to occupy it, it would be troublesome."

"Indeed! Liang Yue, what do you think?"

Inside a war room that had just been cleaned up not long ago.

Thorin, Legolas, the white-bearded and black-braided dwarves, etc., were currently discussing strategy while facing a well-crafted sand table of the Lonely Mountain and its surrounding terrain.

Liang Yue, at this moment, was sitting on the sofa in the corner, instructing Arwen on the practice of that 'Unnamed Meditation Technique'.

When asked about combat strategies, this guy's answer seemed unusually simple and crude.

In general, it was just one sentence: when the time comes, just rush up headfirst and kill!

Even when facing the strange gazes of Thorin and the others, Liang Yue still maintained a calm and composed look.

Nonsense!

He had been lying low for so long, keeping the Orc chieftain Azog alive, wasn't it all to wait for him to lead the army over now, and then take the opportunity to kill happily on the battlefield, to farm some data!

As the saying goes, the sky is big, the earth is big, the mission is the biggest!

Besides that, he didn't care about anything else!

"But even if your combat skills are amazing, the role that individual strength can play on the battlefield is ultimately limited, and it's too dangerous to do so!"

Legolas clearly felt that Liang Yue was a bit overconfident, thinking that being able to single-handedly kill the evil dragon Smaug and become a dragon slayer meant he was truly invincible in the world.

Now, he was even so arrogant that he dared to face an army of tens of thousands of people alone…

Therefore, the Elven Prince's gaze towards him at this time was like looking at an idiot.

Thorin and the others, on the other hand, held a reserved attitude.

After all, they had indeed been rushing forward like this all the way before. Whether facing Warg Riders or Goblin lairs, the combat power displayed by Liang Yue was beyond their comparison.

Although in their hearts, they didn't think Liang Yue had the strength to fight an army alone.

But what if…

Maybe this guy could create another miracle.

Faced with the doubts of those few people, Liang Yue didn't say any more nonsense at this time, and directly took out the One Ring from his storage space and waved it in front of them.

"When the time comes, as long as I put this thing on my finger, I'll be invisible the whole time. You don't have to worry about my survival ability on the battlefield."

"This is… the One Ring! How could it be on you!"

Legolas, this handsome Elven young man, was clearly seeing this ring for the first time, but as a prince of the Woodland Realm, his knowledge was quite impressive, and he recognized the identity of this ring almost at a glance.

Subsequently, Legolas slowly came to Liang Yue's front, his face very serious.

"It's been in my hands for some time, Your Highness, about since we came out of the Goblin Kingdom."

Liang Yue then put away the ring, and then just stared at this handsome Elven young man.

"Who else knows about this ring besides those present?"

"Before entering Mirkwood, Gandalf had already entrusted the Great Eagles to spread the news of the One Ring's appearance to all races.

As of now, all major races, including King Thranduil, should have received the news, and Gandalf himself has gone to Dol Guldur alone to confirm the situation there."

Arwen said at this time from the side, her gentle and糯糯 voice immediately cooled down the atmosphere between Liang Yue and the Elven Prince.

Hearing this, Legolas nodded, took a deep look at Liang Yue, and then returned to the sand table, frowning and starting a new plan.

"Then we probably have to discuss this matter further. Since the One Ring has appeared, then the Orcs are very likely to have joined the powerful Dark Lord Sauron.

Their intention for your Dwarf clan's Lonely Mountain is no longer just a matter of racial hatred, but related to the strategic invasion plan of the entire dark race."

Soon after, a discussion about countermeasures against the enemy was fiercely launched again.

And Liang Yue, after being glared at by Arwen, continued to develop private topics between the two.

"I also have a communication platform for villagers here. Once it's opened, you can communicate remotely, even across worlds, with other villagers.

How about it, are you ready?"

"… … Communication platform? Is it like you, using the power of the system to summon that kind of light screen, and then talk to other people?"

"Yes ~"

"Okay, crossing very long distances, even communicating across worlds?"

"Yes!"

"Then why didn't you say so sooner! If we could have exchanged information with Rachel earlier, we would have definitely gained many unexpected advantages.

It could even affect the entire battle situation that follows, such an important thing ~"

"I forgot ~"

"You forgot?"

"Yes, this is my fault, but fortunately, it's not too late to open it now ~ Hehe!"

… …

Afterwards, under Arwen's strange expression of looking at livestock, Liang Yue summoned the permission content updated by the system before, and then quickly clicked the confirm button on the platform's opening button.

Immediately afterwards, a stream of information about this platform seemed to appear out of thin air in Liang Yue's mind.

Arwen next to him obviously also felt something, and a pair of beautiful lake-blue eyes were constantly flashing with brilliance at this time, obviously trying to digest this information.

According to the instructions given on the information, Liang Yue summoned a villager list similar to Tencent QQ in the form of a light screen in a thought.

At this time, the avatars of six women and one mother eagle were hanging on the list.

And Liang Yue, as the group owner, appeared at the top of the list…

Clicking on his avatar, his personal information, name, age, race, occupation and other simple things have been displayed by the system on the top.

The content of this information interface is obviously not comparable to the personal attribute interface, but it is enough for others to have a general understanding of themselves.
